Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain

Lyrics

[Verse]
In the twilight glow I see them
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Some day when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand-in-hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Now my hair has turned to silver
All my life I've loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven
Blue eyes crying in the rain

"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" was performed by many artists, frankly it is difficult to say which one sang it better, as a result many great artists sang it. In my opinion, Willie Nelson sang the song better or it suited him better. Also, as a fan of Elvis Presley, I love hearing this song from him too, Elvis Presley sings every song amazingly so he is the king. However, I still like listening to it from Willie Nelson more. "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is one somber tune. The lyrics describe a person who kisses his love goodbye, knowing that he will never see his love again, and who thinks that he will never find true love again, and is looking forward to meeting him in heaven. It is simple and to the point, a beautiful, sad love song.
